I feels ya. Haven’t done the Botox (yet), but my neurologist is considering sending me to something called migraine boot camp.
Not to mention the fine print in the ad which says you have to use it for 48 weeks,
I actually kept track one night. ABC Nightly News ran drug commercials for every ad, except when they were advertising their own shows.
I’m sure there are a lot of people in the Northern California demographic who would like to take home a Buster Posey.
What the fuck is a Buster Posey? Anything like a Buster Hymen?
The cannibalist Mr. and Mrs. Potato Head.
The M&M commercials where they sent off some of them to be eaten, apparently as a juke.
Some insurance commercial, I think, where some kind of alien eats a guy’s pet dog.
And I think there’s another commercial where a family member eats the pet goldfish.
Seems to be a lot of pet eating lately.
the old one where the green M&M sends the red one off with the redheaded woman was always good for a “Haha, it’s funny because he mildly annoys her so she’s arranged to have him murdered and eaten!”
Was it ALF?
(Actually ALF tried to eat the cat, but close enough.)
My current most hated commercial is the one for the latest drug in the senior sexual arms race - Osphena - for older women whose post-menopausal lady parts just can’t keep up with the constant pounding they are getting from their Cialis laced husbands – “I never thought it would happen to me…”
But what makes me stabby is the last warning “Use for the shortest time possible based on goals and risks”. WHAT THE FREAK DOES THAT EVEN MEAN??? Best I can gather is it means - this drug is so dangerous you shouldn’t use it at all, but if you feel you must in order to keep your husband from buying a Porsche and running off with his receptionist, don’t take it for long.
someday I’m going to draw a parody of that logo, with one empty bathtub and another that is a tangle of 2 heads 4 arms and 4 legs in suggestive positioning.
Was the annoying, nasally, high-pitched singing child Shutterfly featured in their Christmas commercials really popular enough to be featured yet again in Mother’s Day commercials? >.<
Did you manage to avoid the original Chicken Fries and their “Coq Roq” marketing campaign?
BK has always had weird and suggestive commercials, at least since around 2003 or so. I guess they put some of them on hiatus for awhile. Back then you had the “One Nation Under chicken fries” Coq Roq band, The Big Bucking Chicken, and Darius Rucker’s genesis as a country singer schilling the Tendercrsip. I also remember a weird breakfast sandwich commercial with a dwarf farmer and a giant rooster.
Latest one on my hate list: it’s for a Chevy and it features the woman saying “That’s the dream, to have wi-fi in your car.”
THAT’S the dream? Not a decent job, not a home in a nice area, not healthy children, not world peace, not calorie-free hot fudge sundaes, but wi-fi in the car?? Maybe she and I have a different definition of dream. No matter, I still want to throw something at her. Idiot.
Heh. How would I even use Wi-Fi on my <10 minutue commute?
Part 2 of the dream is a bridge abutment in your engine comparment and the engine in your lap as you fiddle with your tablet on the highway.
Yeah. My dream is for everyone else to have wifi in their cars for when I’m riding as a passenger. I don’t have any use for it in mine.
What is it with those Buick commercials where nobody can recognize the Buick even while staring right into the logo on the front grille? Og knows how many gazillions they spent promoting their logo over a hundred years, but it’s all been wasted.
It’s not just Chevy. All of the car commercials are talking about how you can check your email, voice mail or Facebook status in your car. It’s as if they’re selling a smartphone with four wheels and an engine. They barely mention anything about the engine, cargo space or how fast the car can go; all the stuff that was traditionally a part of auto ads.
FiOS VOD has an obsession with the “Half Time” lunch kit ad with the kid doing a horrific Braveheart impression in a school cafeteria. I really hate that fucking ad.
It’s not just TV commercials where they’re pushing that. My local paper has an “Auto” section each week, and the last few have been stupid stories like “Chrysler 300’s New Infotainment” package; they didn’t mention anything else about the car.
So I guess the whole “Don’t text and drive” thing doesn’t count if your car has wi-fi, huh? I weep…
